How long would you ... ( 9 months ago by soundworksvectra)
How long would you say on average commercial multi blade should last?? baring in mind i dont really get thick facial hair yet :|
soundworksvectra- ... ( 9 months ago by mantic59)
soundworksvectra- That's a very difficult question to answer because there are many variables. A very rough rule of thumb is about a week of daily shaving, but really you just have to experiment a little to see what's best for you.

padseenoodle- "The Cube" refers to the shave cube. See my "Introduction to Method Shaving Part 1" video.

mantic, I just realized (having missed part one) that I was mixing up this series with your series on traditional wetshaving.

austintexas69- Under the nose can be tough. I use downward strokes, relather, then go "sideways" towards the nose from each direction. If you try upwards do it only after you've done the other passes first, and then very carefully: some folks just can't do an upward stroke without getting nicked.
If I shaved that ... ( 6 months ago by Kyledude136)
If I shaved that many times, my face would be on fire, especially if I rinsed with hot water. It pains me to watch you, but you don't seem to be irritated at all. Maybe I just have super-sensitive skin.
I have been shaving ... ( 6 months ago by newyorkfish)
I have been shaving with a MACH3 for about a decade.
Now I am (slowly) learning how to shave with a safety razor (every few days).
When I shave in the shower, I just use a regular bar of soap, lather up with my fingers, massaging the lather in.
I then rinse off with hot water, then shave without any lather - I get a good shave without a single cut.
But now I have to learn how to use a brush and I have been cutting myself - very tricky to shave when you can't see your beard.
Wow, what a ... ( 5 months ago by Karlmarks)
Wow, what a terribly customized method. I have a very tough beard that angles north at the bottom of my neck. If I did a first pass using the method shown here I would be going against the grain, and it would destroy my face. Make sure you check the grain of your hair before using this method.

nbelt1919- There's no hard-and-fast answer: it depends on the brand of blade and your beard. Basically, replace when you don't get good shaves anymore. A very general rule-of-thumb is about a week.
I just had my first ... ( 2 months ago by claest007)
I just had my first shave with a safety razor. Aside from the minor razor burns and a few nicks, it worked out great. The seller told me that once I get used to it, you can do it as fast as with multiple blades, closer and without any razor burn or nick!
I found out that ... ( 2 months ago by claest007)
I found out that having a "burning face" after shaving with a safety razor (or a razor in general) is usually caused by applying too much pressure to the blade. The weight of the razor should be enough, it's better to do another pass with GENTLE strokes than to press down a bit.
At the start I ... ( 2 months ago by claest007)
At the start I guess you could change blades every 4 shaves. This usually means every 4 days. Once you get used to it, you can move on to 6-7 days per blade. But in the beginning, you want to use only "extra" sharp blades.
The problem with ... ( 1 month ago by bobthebuilder11)
The problem with this method is that you are passing the razor over your skin far too many times. Irrespective of lather this will irritate the skin more than if you passed only once. If you shave well there is no need to repeatedly go over the same spots. By shaving in different directions you may get a closer shave but it is not necessary and will encourage ingrown hairs as opposed to shaving with the grain. You should rinse with cold water (not warm or hot water) after shaving as well.
See, I'm having an ... ( 1 month ago by slapstickity76)
See, I'm having an issue with this right now. If I shave WITH the grain it's almost like I didn't shave at all. All it does is "comb" over the hair. I still have [visible] stubble all over my face. Mind you, this is with using a gillette fusion razor.
Use only a single ... ( 1 month ago by bobthebuilder11)
Use only a single or double-bladed razor. Apply very little pressure. Make sure you use warm water in a rich creamy lather. Try to make the blade flat on skin. Pull lightly and relatively fast on the handle, do not drag, do not apply pressure, if your face is warm, wet, creamy, the SHARP razor will glide if u hold at correct angle with no irritation and max. hair removal. Fewer strokes means next day your whiskers are softer than 5+ strokes. The secret is NO PRESSURE, and SHAVE PREPARATION.

I agree that ingrown hairs do not occur using a double-edged razor, which is why I said. "use a single or double-bladed razor." Thus, I am not against double-bladed razors. My point about ingrown hairs is that when you pass too many times over the same area (irrespective of number of blades) and/or apply too much pressure then you will provoke ingrown hairs, you will increase the chance of causing razor burn; hence this video technique of multiple passes (3+ passes) is questionable.
